out of libya, where it appears rebels have one control of tripoli from moammar gadhafi. president obama's national security team is reportedly keeping him updated on the situation while he's on vacation and tonight the president is calling on gadhafi to give up his power. he released this statement just a few hours ago. the president said, "the surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple, moammar gadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end. he needs to relinquish power once and for all." the situation in libya is changing in the moment and richard engel is in tripoli and filed this report just hours ago. >> reporter: post-era gadhafi is ending. people have come out of their homes to celebrate. we've seen fireworks in the sky after a battle today unlike any other in this conflict. it is a march on tripoli. rebels hope it is a walk to freedom from 42 years of moammar

gadhafi's dictatorship. on the highway to tripoli from the west, some rebels carry flags. others drive in cars and trucks all armed, all excited. the rebels fan out look for the snipers in a nearby orchard and buildings. they don't find them. with a front line this fluid, this uncertain the rooted are just patched up by the roadside or rushed back to hospitals miles away. but today we also saw victories as the rebels capture new territory they rescue some of their own. these men were prisoners taken by gadhafi's troops. disoriented and bedraggeled freed moments ago after dark days and dark cells. gadhafi says he's still in tripoli and urgently calls on his supporters to defend him. and a libyan state tv anchor holds a gun as she vows never to give up her station to the

rebels. it's a different fight now as gadhafi faces a wave of revolution. what we are hearing from people here over and over is that they historic day. [ speaking in native tongue ] >> free, free. >> reporter: he said today we live in freedom. that something that we are hearing over and over again. people are saying, god is great. they are just thankful. they are thankful that this day has come and now a new future may be beginning for libya. >> all right that was richard engel reporting. and earlier today rebels claim they captured moammar gadhafi's son who was a top leader in the regime. american and nato officials also said late tonightta they provided aerial surveillance over tripoli for the rebels as they moved in. san francisco police are still looking for the people responsible for sending three men to the hospital during separate incidents at the 49ers and raiders game at candlestick park last night and as police search for more witnesses and evidence city officials and sports fans are speaking out about the rash attacks of last

night's game between the two bay area rivals. nbc bay area's kimberly teri is at san francisco hospital. >> reporter: twoft three men are still hospitalized here at san francisco general, and police say their conditions have improved from critical to now serious. >> reporter: a game between the san francisco 49ers and the oakland raiders turned violent as some fans turned on each other. >> i think it's sad. i think it's horrible that there has to be violence especially when we're trying to maybe share a stadium and to get along. >> reporter: this is the second time in less than five months sports fans in california have gotten into major scuffles. in march san francisco giants fan bryan stow was severely beaten outside of dodgers stadium after opening day. saturday night as a preseason game was letting out, police say two men were shot. it's not known if the shootings are connected. a 24-year-old man was shot in

the abdomen multiple times, despite his injuries, which police say are life threatening, he was able to drive his truck to gate "a" and find security for help. another man in his 20s was also injured in the shooting near lot "v," police say he is not seriously injured. during the game several fights also broke out. this is video posted on youtube that shows one of the brawls outside the stadium that lasted for several minutes. there is also youtube video of a fight in the stands that drew onlookers, but police say the most vicious assault happened in a men's rest room where a 26-year-old san rafael man was beaten unconscious. suffering severe head trauma. sports fans on both sides of the bay say the violence is unfortunate and needs to stop. >> i think they're losing their fans with nothing else going on in their lives and they come to the games and bring their, you know, sorry mentality with them and cause violence on are people, it's just -- i don't know what it is. it's going too far i think. >> there's no reason for a sport

to have so much violence when you just look at sport. so to me it seems like bigger issues going on culturally, systemically, economically. >> reporter: san francisco mayor ed lee and oakland mayor jean quan other than both at saturday's game. it says "violence will not be tolerated in either of our stadiums. our fans come to our stadiums to enjoy an afternoon of football, not to be subjected to intimidation or violence." >> reporter: san francisco police are not making any comments on this case today, only to say they're still investigating and also looking for witnesses. so if you saw anything unusual at last night's game you are asked to call police. you can also text them with a tip at tip411. that's tip411. live at san francisco general tonight, kimberly tere, nbc bay area news. >> thanks for the update, kimberly. the lawyer for those two uc-berkeley graduates who were sentenced to eight years in prison in iran this weekend

announced today that he does plan to appeal the decision and there is still a possibility the two could be set free soon. uc-berkeley graduates josh fa fattal their family and friends and many experts assumed to time served and released. after two years behind bars that turned out to not be the case and then there was speculation that perhaps they would be released as a symbolic gesture during the muslim holy month of ramadan. with ten days of ramadan remaining that could still be the case and tonight bay area muslims celebrating ramadan shared their thoughts. >> in general in iran people have more sense of more mercy, forgiveness and kindness and generosity so perhaps those attributes maybe would think during this time there would be a little bit more leniencey. >> bauer and fattal, we appeal to the authorities in iran to show compassion and allow them to return home to our families

without delay. oakland congresswoman barbara lee released this statement. senator diane feinstein is officially supporting san francisco mayoral candidate ed lee. tomorrow the senator's expected to join lee on a visit to chinatown. feinstein has long been a supporter of lee before he was a candidate. lee is the latest person to join the race, just 16 candidates in all are running for mayor. many people have criticized lee's decision to run, though. if you remember when ed lee agreed to finish gavin newsom's term he promised that he would not run for mayor, however he said he changed his mind and has pledged not to accept public financi financing. yet another b.a.r.t. protest is scheduled for tomorrow. more than 200 people put on a facebook page. meantime, b.a.r.t. lead verse issued a letter to its riders

defending the decision to shutdown cell phone service earlier this month. the decision came after this protest last month, it disrupted 96 trains at the height of rush hour on july the 11th. when leaders learned protesters planned to use cell phones. the safety of b.a.r.t. passengers and personnel. but many critics say b.a.r.t. overstepped its boundaries by shutting down cell phone service, so now b.a.r.t. has decided to hold a public meeting on wednesday to discuss the decision. but again a reminder there is a protest scheduled for tomorrow due to start at 5:00 at civic center station in san francisco. right now we want to check in with rob mayeda. >> we're tracking two of them. one of them you will notice come tuesday. right now low clouds back over san francisco. 57 degrees. but the two weather patterns we're seeing, are starting to come together. it'll be impacting our weather. first some tropical moisture that's to the south.

check in with rob mayeda. it was actually a pretty nice day out there. not super warm but sun nesome spots. >> comfortable considering what most country has to deal this time the year, with 90s, 100s and humidity. 70s and low 80s in and now the fog is rolling back into san francisco. 57 degrees. west wind at 10, and nearby on the east side of the bay. and now the low clouds have already spilled into oakland. 62 also, also 62 in san jose. and again the south bay, we'll see those low clouds continuing to fill on in so tomorrow morning plan on misty skies and maybe drizz nel a few spots. see right now 50s and 60s. again a good healthy sea breeze is going to be good news for air quality tomorrow. no spare the air days in sight. so some of our weather headlines for tomorrow morning, once again you're going to want to dress in layers as we go through the day. a light jacket for the morning and then i think t-shirt weather for the afternoon. more 80s popping up for the inland valleys. the hottest day of the week very likely will be tuesday especially out to the tri-valley

where we could see temperatures climbing into the mid 90s. also on tuesday and wednesday, watching for some tropical clouds. now, speaking of tropics, we have tropical storm irene, almost a hurricane at this hour. now making landfall pretty close to puerto rico with winds up to 70 miles per hour. come thursday the track of this storm now a little further to the north, eastern florida or perhaps the coastal areas here of georgia and south carolina, could be seeing a category 1 or category 2 hurricane a little bit later on in the week, so we'll be watching that very closely to our east. now we have our own tropical deck our weather. you seekd moisture moving up out of the south around a ridge of high pressure which is strengthening and that is the reason why our temperatures are going to start to warm on up. let's compared monday's afternoon highs. likely see around here come tuesday and you'll really see the 90s flaring up, south of san jose, livermore, out towards concord, things are look toasty come tuesday. tomorrow morning low clouds 50s to start day and then for the afternoon we'll see the highs in the -- eventually getting into

the 80s tomorrow. i think the biggest difference is event of the eouo tth to the tri-valley and gumting nbers into the mid 80s for your monday afternoon and then tuesday areas south of san jose and livermore we could see mid 90s and that slight risk of thunder. we have to watch that out for things like dry lightning when you get that moisture on much to some drier air below and temperatures will rebound as we head towards next weekend. >> all righty. >> sure. >> thank you, rob. still ahead at 11:00, some bay area libraries are shutting down this tuesday. but the closure is actually intended to help your trips a bit better. plus -- >> good evening i'm lawrence scott. coming up today on "sports sunday" we've got coverage of raiders and niners training campuses and plus the marin ng ve that told m.i.t. we go insisted giants way with
